Donna the Buffalo Stampedes into Woodstock

Roots rock favorites Donna the Buffalo hail from just a few hours north of the Hudson Valley, the Tompkins County village of Trumansburg, to be exact. But it’s been a while since they’ve been through the area. At long last, though, the band is headed back, with their sights set on Levon Helm Studios for a September 4 hoedown.

Formed in 1989, the five-piece band blends rock ’n’ roll, country, folk, Cajun/zydeco, pop, and old-timey styles into a highly infectious, mercilessly danceable, good-time sound that’s been dubbed “the EDM of Americana.” No wonder Levon himself loved jamming with them, at one of the late drummer’s Midnight Rambles in 2011.

“I Love My Tribe” is a fan fave from 2013;

Donna the Buffalo will perform at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York, on September 4 at 8pm (doors at 6pm). Tickets are $35 and $25. For more information, call (845) 679-2744 or visit http://levonhelm.com/midnight_ramble.htm.
